The Senate voted Thursday to make English the national language of the United States. Sort of.
Moments after the 63-34 vote, it decided to call the mother tongue a "common and unifying language."

Now if only the House will follow suit it might actually make it into a law.
Anyone want to give odds on that happening?

Ironically, the White House web site has a link at the top for - you guessed it - "espaņol".
